Scales and clocks just can't be trustedKeys and locks are destined to be bustedMetaphors were never made for keeping scoreAnd I'm feeling for the sound of time

Is it the answer or just a suggestionIs love what we truly want or merely a protectionIs this music made to last or crumble like a shellIs there heaven here on earth or is this really hell?

(Chorus):Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrongOnly time will tell, is there a message in this song?Will it eve make sense, will it ever ring a bell?Only time will tell.

Are we destined to be ruled by a bunch of old white menWho compare the world to football and are programmed to defendI'd like to try a princess or a non-terrestrialWho is neither boat nor bashfulIs there really such a girl

ChorusOnly time will tell,....

I woke up this morning feeling absolutely grandFor nearly half a century I've been singing in a bandI'd like to think Ill make it to two thousand and oneWill the party be at my house?God, I wonder who will come...
